Pleasing, Spacious, and Refined with few flaws
We leased a 2025 Ioniq 5 RWD Limited, Lucid Blue, for three years. So far, after 3 months, there have been no real issues with the car. it is a pleasure to drive. Though it is not the AWD model, it has plenty of zip as far as we are concerned. When fully charged, the display says we have over 340 miles of range -- though I don't think we actually get that. We keep the car in "Econo" all the time, no problem. The paddles and usage of regenerative braking takes some getting used to, but it now seems second nature. We usually put the system in "auto" for freeway driving, which allows coasting with your foot off the accelerator if the road is open. For city driving we oten use the "iPeddle" dingle pedal driving mode. There are, what we believe some things that could use improvement. For example, the buttons for climate, media, some other controls require the drive to glance down and reach. Getting to the point where you can easily choose preset radio favorites requires more effort than one might like. The "home screen" is "customizable" but in actuality, you have to press one or sometimes more buttons to get to that screen after you turn the car on. The storage area under the sliding console is nice, but not too easy to get to without fiddling with the item you wish to place there. Note, we opted for the "free" ChargePoint charger when we got the car, but in truth it's not really free because you must use the Hyundai approved middleman to arrange for installation - which ended up costing us $1100, even though we already had a 240 volt outlet in our garage.
